… In the newly released census data for 2021-22, both natural increase and immigration rose, but due to increases in LEGAL immigration, that component added over 1 million people to the national population, compared to 245,000 for natural increase.

However, without immigration, it would be much closer to the previous year’s historically low rate. …” https://www.brookings.edu/
